Reorder on your vendor's terms. Not on a sales forecast.
Backstock is the purchasing and receiving system for brick-and-mortar retail - price breaks, case packs, order minimums, and deal windows, the way you actually buy from your reps. Across every store and every register.
// For the sales floor and the stock room - not the web shop. Flat pricing. Bring your Stocky data.
Who it's for
Brick-and-mortar retailers - one location or fifty. Bookstores, bottle shops, outdoor gear, grocery, boutiques, hardware.
Dropshippers and web-only stores. If your reorders come from yesterday's online sales, this isn't the tool for you.
The buyer's brain, built in
It watches the vendor's price list, so you don't have to do the math on the floor.
Set your negotiated terms once. Backstock rounds every order to the case and tells you when a few more units cross into the next tier - or clears the free-freight minimum.
Why the other apps feel wrong
Everyone reorders off your sales. In a real store, that's backwards.
Shopify's tools, and most inventory apps, forecast customer demand and fire off reorder points. But 99% of your orders aren't driven by what sold - they're driven by what your vendor is offering this week.
What inventory apps do
- →Forecast demand with AI and "smart" reorder points
- →Treat every SKU as a single flat cost
- →Ignore case packs, minimums, and freight thresholds
- →Charge you more as your sales grow
What you actually do
- ✓Buy to the tier your rep negotiated - and the deal that's live now
- ✓Round to full cases and hit the order minimum
- ✓Track landed cost as it changes on every receipt
- ✓Keep a clean inventory + receiving history you can actually pull
Built for how a store actually runs
The back-of-house work the web-first apps forget.
Purchasing doesn't end when the PO is sent. Backstock is built around the parts of the job that happen on the floor and in the stock room.
Receiving dock
Check it in against the PO
Count deliveries line by line, catch shorts and damages, and update landed cost the moment stock hits the door.
Stock room
Count without closing
Full-store or section counts by barcode, reconciled against what the register thinks you have.
The rep's order guide
Buy from the real catalog
Your vendor's SKUs, tiers, and case packs - imported, not re-keyed into a spreadsheet every season.
Price gun & labels
Print shelf tags from the PO
Shelf and bin labels straight off the purchase order as it lands, so the floor is ready before you are.
One purchasing office, every register
One back office for every store you run.
Backstock syncs SKUs, costs, and on-hand from every register on your floor, and hands back clean purchase orders and receiving for the stock room. Stocky refugees start on Shopify POS; Square and Lightspeed are next.
From Stocky to your first smart PO
Up and running in an afternoon.
01
Import your Stocky export
Suppliers, negotiated costs, and PO history come across as-is - no re-keying, nothing left behind on Aug 31.
02
Set your vendor terms once
Price breaks, case packs, order minimums, freight thresholds, payment terms - the deal you actually negotiated with each rep.
03
Order to the tier, receive on the dock
Backstock builds each PO to the next price break and checks the delivery in against it, updating landed cost as stock lands.
Pricing, said plainly
Flat price. We don't charge you more for selling more.
Others bill on your revenue or per order. Your purchasing workload doesn't scale with your sales - so your bill shouldn't either.
per location / month
- Unlimited purchase orders, SKUs & vendors
- Receiving, landed cost & label printing
- Inventory history & valuation reports
- Every seat on your team included
Straight answers
Questions we hear from shop owners.
Do I have to leave Shopify or my current POS?
No. Backstock sits on top of the register you already use. Shopify POS is first; Square and Lightspeed are next on the list.
We run more than one location. Does it handle that?
Yes - per-location stock, transfers between stores, and purchase orders, all from one back office.
What happens to my Stocky data after August 31?
Export it now and we import your suppliers, negotiated costs, and PO history, so nothing is lost when Stocky shuts down.
How is it priced?
Flat, per location - never based on your revenue or order count. Waitlist shops get founding pricing.
When can I actually use it?
We're onboarding brick-and-mortar shops ahead of the shutdown. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out based on the POS you run.
Migrating off Stocky?
Bring your suppliers, costs, and PO history - imported, not retyped.
We're onboarding brick-and-mortar shops now, ahead of the Aug 31 Stocky shutdown. Tell us what you run and we'll get you set up with your data intact.
